Some fun new, Artist and Designer Takumi Nariyoshi. surprised me the other morning when he messaged me out of the blue and asked me to work on a couple of his images from his newest color books! The books are called Art color book. and can be found om Amazon :) To say I was Flattered would be an understatement! His work is Amazing! Not only does he work on images like this but does some AMAZING would work as well!

Here is the first one finished

Definitely different than I am used to but I do love a challenge! I have one more to do for him and will hopefully get to it this week!

Also in other news I was asked to do a DT spot for the artist Connie Fong who produces Absolutly Beautiful Digis on etsy.

Here are a few cards I have done with some of her images!

I have one scheduled to share tomorrow which is her New release for this month! I was totally doing the happy dance when she messaged me! Are these just absolutely adorable!!! Please check her group out on facebook! Some real Talent going on there!!

So what happens if you take several months off and then try to find your blog again? Uggg it takes you 20 minutes to get back in!
I have been working like crazy in the pilot car biz. and have not been doing much in the world of design team projects. I ended up kind of feeling burned out trying to keep up with deadlines, work and kids! so in my free time I just enjoyed doing some projects on the side just for me :) Here are some works for the past several months just to share a few...

So yes I have definitely had some stuff in the works :) but I have also done some other projects as well.

My brother is the CEO of Golden Leaf Holdings and challenged be to do some oil photography for him! I spent days and made a heck of a mess to pull these shots off! Sadly a graphic designer won he spot. Pshhhhhhh is all I have to say to that! Lol

Here are some shots:

These are 100mm Macro shots all done in a pitch black room relying on a noise trigger to release my flash and shutter at the same time on a Canon 5D Mark III. It's probably needless to say I had oil from one end of the room to the other splashing coins in a dish blind! But it was fun!

Also a few sketches from the oil splashes :

Not nearly as pretty as the pics lol!

Well I hope you enjoyed the quick update! I have a few more things to share with you shortly!!!!
